Jennifer Aniston has a lot of trouble understanding the “new generation”, too “sensitive” for her taste. In an interview with “Wall Street Journal Magazine” on Tuesday August 22, the star of “Friends” once again denounced the “cancel culture”, believing that we should not “put everyone in the same basket as Harvey Weinstein”.
Enough is enough ! Jennifer Aniston has simply had enough of the “cancel culture”. This is what the American actress said on Tuesday August 22 in an interview with the Wall Street Journal Magazine. “I’m sick of the ‘cancel culture’,” she said at first before adding, “I’m probably going to get ‘cancelled’ saying that, but I don’t understand what that means. There is no more redemption possible? I don’t know. I don’t put everyone in the same basket as Harvey Weinstein”.
“Everyone always finds something offensive these days”
The star of Morning Show then explained that he had never been assaulted by the former Hollywood producer, sentenced to 23 years in prison for rape in New York, and 16 years in prison in Los Angeles for similar acts. “He wasn’t the kind of guy you were looking forward to spending time with.

I remember asking someone to stay in my trailer as long as he was there,” Jennifer Aniston told The Daily Mail. Wall Street Journal Magazine.
This is not the first time that the 54-year-old actress has denounced “cancel culture”. Last March, she reacted to criticism aimed at Friendsthe series that made him famous in the 1990s. “There is a whole new generation, young people who now watch episodes of Friends and find them offensive.

But I don’t think there was the sensitivity that there is today”, she then analyzed.
Words that may disappoint some fans of Jennifer Aniston.

It also remains a means of denouncing all forms of discrimination such as sexism and racism, by putting the incriminated persons face to face with their responsibilities.
